Right Answer is: C

SOLUTION

We have, $x^{m} y^{n} = a^{m + 1} \Rightarrow m l o g x + n l o g y = (m + 1) l o g a ∴ \frac{m}{x} + \frac{n}{y} \frac{d y}{d x} = 0 \Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d y} = \frac{n x}{m y} ∴ S u b - t a n g e n t == ∣ ∣ y \frac{d x}{d y} ∣ ∣ = \frac{n x}{m} a x .$
Hence (c) is the correct answer.
